Creating Content In Batches Is The Best Thing For Your Business

Creating Content In Batches Is The Best Thing For Your Business

I've said it before, but I'll say it again…creating content in batches is one of the best things for you and your business.

And if you can get into the habit, you will reap the benefits immensely.

When you post or send on a day to day basis (I.e. create and send out your content for that day, each day), you really lose momentum and flow. And you may not realize it, but it actually takes more time than if you batch. Of course, we all have our preferences, so if you prefer the dailies, go for it.

But for me, when I schedule a bunch of emails or posts…everything gets done much more quickly and the ideas build on each other as I create. It also makes for a better audience experience because I can more easily connect ideas between content pieces and have them looking forward to the next.

In short, everything just flows and when you can flow, you’ve got create content and potentially very powerful sales material for your business.

10/10 recommended!

To help you start creating your content in batches we have a free gift for you.

4 Tips To Build Momentum & Gain Focus In Your Business

4 Tips To Build Momentum & Gain Focus In Your Business 

It's easy to lose your momentum when life gets busy or the summer sunshine is calling your name. And let's be serious, working at home isn't for everyone because it IS challenging to stay motivated and focused.

Here's what works for me to keep that momentum and stay focused. I'd love to hear what works for you. 

1. Delegate as much as possible. 

Start small and work toward getting more and more off your plate, so you can focus on being the CEO who determines the direction of your business. I know I keep saying this, but this is the absolute truth. You will stifle your growth and/or burn yourself out if you don't do this. 

2. Be patient with yourself.

Taking a break is fine and you may lose track and things may get off course. Get back on it by taking some time to take stock of what you've got going on. Figure out what's priority, what you could delegate and what can wait. 

3. Keep a routine.

Try to keep some kind of routine, even when you're enjoying summer or are dealing with a crisis that might keep you from work. Plan a short to do list the evening before and give yourself an hour or two in the morning to knock it out...or whatever works for you.

4. Keep your business streamlined. 

This goes back to delegation, but also using automation tools and most importantly, not putting too much on your plate. Managing multiple businesses or projects isn't easy...and the more you've given yourself to do, the harder it is to get back on track when you fall off. If you find this to be true about yourself, put more of your effort into single or fewer projects and maximize them completely. (I have never fully learned this lesson, but I know it's true!)

Here's something that will help you and your readers gain focus...

An Ugly Website Can Truly Be A Beautiful Thing

An Ugly Website Can Truly Be A Beautiful Thing

You know people write to us all the time and tell us our sites are ugly (in so many words) or outdated looking. I still use old-school opt-in pages and sales pages. I make graphics that look like they're from the olden days of 2001.

But you know why I do this? Because this stuff WORKS.

This is one of the lessons conveyed in the free Pinterest Class, even though they didn't outright say it. By the way, make sure you check it out below.

When you see beautiful images and websites, what do you feel? Maybe relaxed and enjoying the view but are you paying attention what is being said? The fonts blend in to the website and don't command attention. I think we get distracted by pretty things and just see the pretty. We feel good, but not necessarily motivated.

But when we see something not so beautiful, it grabs our attention in a different way. It maybe makes us a little uncomfortable and we search for clues on what's going on. And when you're using direct response marketing techniques (like headlines, bullet points in sometimes eye-catching colors), you draw the eye in to what you are actually trying to say.

That is powerful.

Now am I suggesting that you uglify your beautiful sites and graphics? Well not totally uglify it, but I would take another look at what you're putting out there and see how it can better command attention.

Case in point, have a look at the results Daniel and John get from their “book-o-graphics” that can be replicated to promote anything … not just books.

If you want tips on adding just a bit of action-oriented ugly to your site or graphics, post a link to what you want help with below.

If You Spend Money On Learning Something New – Do It Right!

If You Spend Money Learning Something New – Do It Right! 

If you’re going to spend money to learn something new, why not do it right?
 
 

Remember a little while ago when I talked about investing your education dollars wisely? So many of you (and no, I cannot include myself lol…because this is the one bad habit that I do not have), buy stuff and do nothing.

Or do it half-heartedly.

Or worse, think you know more than the instructor or coach that you trusted to give your money to, so you do it differently.

I’ve told you guys the story about my stand-up comedy class. Where I fully and wholeheartedly dedicating myself to doing what my expert teacher told me to do, no matter how painful it was. And trust me, it WAS painful. Only about 20% off the class did this…the rest just gave up for whatever reason.

Well, here’s another example. This is from last year, when my boys and I went axe (ax for the Americans) throwing for the first time. We were given specific instructions on how to do it.

RESULT – This was one of 3 bullseyes for me. My youngest son got 4. My oldest (please don’t tell him I told you this), didn’t get any and you could see he wasn’t following the instructions.

And of course, part of that is natural physical ability that is tough to change without repeated practice. Because gosh, ask anyone who has tried to teach me to swing a golf club or shoot pool and how good a student I was.

If you’re going to spend money, immerse yourself fully. Do what your instructor or coach says. Once you see some results, you can adjust the plan and make it better. Until then, you’re just wasting your time and money.

P.S. If you haven’t seen my stand-up routine or watched the video where I talked about the process of going from no experience to 5 mortifying but fun minutes on stage, you can read that here.

Content Helps Connect You To Your Audience & Showcase Your Expertise

Showcase Your Expertise With Content

Let's make content marketing even easier. Unless you like it to be hard. In that case, you can skip over this blog post.

I think we all know that content should always be growing your business. It drives traffic, it builds a connection with your audience and can showcase your expertise, there are so many benefits. But content needn't be complicated and some of the SIMPLEST things we can create for our customers have the biggest impact.

That's why many of our customers already embrace the power of printables (your customers or you print) and print on demand products (you use a company to print products to ship to customers).

They can help grow your business in many ways including:

  • Creating awesome and easy gifts to ship to your very best clients.
  • Create fun swag to promote your brand...instead of the usual boring corporate stuff.
  • Create quick printables like journals, note cards, stickers, checklists, etc. They're perfect for opt-in offers to grow your list or as products for sale.
  • Have merchandise like t-shirts, mugs and more for sale to create an extra or even main revenue stream.  

Also when you've got access to templates (like we give you at DFYTemplates, EKItHub and Publish for Prosperity) and Print on Demand companies that require zero upfront investment it's even simpler to do. 

It's a super easy way to stock up. They're fully editable and monetizable...so grab what you need.
